JAMAICA'S newest political party, the New Nation Coalition (NNC) headed by children’s advocate Betty Ann Blaine was launched earlier today.
The Coalition consisting of 10 founding members, is promising tax reformation, urban housing, rural land reform and a foundation built on strong Christian principles among some of its objectives.
Additionally, the fourth political party has also thrown its weight behind the Contractor General Greg Christie calling for the expansion of his powers as well as supporting the work of the centre for Leadership and Governance at the University of the West Indies.
“We intend to examine and promote those key areas of constitutional and legislative reform that will strengthen transparency and accountability and put an end to corruption in political and public life for good,” Blaine said
Speaking at the launch at the Wyndham Hotel in New Kingston, she said that after 48 years of independence Jamaica is moving backwards.
